Yet what they learn is often that they must memorize vast amounts of data and studies that make little sense in how to apply what they learn to the real world. They want to understand what the world is really all about. In psychology, students flock to our courses, eager to learn the lessons of life, of how their mind works, and how to understand others. The failure to understand that has led to the media's preoccupation with claiming it is all in your DNA or biochemistry a media preoccupied with the magic words of DNA and biochemicals in the brain cannot grasp a deeper level of understanding.Īll teachers are inspired by the idea, however hopeful, that we are getting something across that someday, someway will benefit our students, make their life better, and give them the tools that they need to understand a very difficult world. Knowing how this works is essential to understanding how our mind works. PSYCHOLOGY CONTROLS THE BIOLOGY OF OUR BRAIN.

In varying degrees this is basic to understanding how our brain works in dealing with anxiety, depression, politics, love, interpersonal relations, and life. We know this because the same thing happens in America today among those watching a Hollywood horror movie about witches, zombies, demons, murder and more. A P300 brain wave would have screamed “ALERT”. Their very brain waves would have shot up from 12 to 40 cycles per second. Neurotransmitters would have surged through their brain. At the witch trials in Salem, when the girls began to shriek “Witch, Witch!” adrenaline and cortisol would have shot into the bloodstream of the spectators.

Psychology controls the biology of our brain. These are the bits and pieces that make up a deep understanding of how our mind works. David Lloyd Shepard is pleased to announce the release of his new book, The New Psychology: A Unified Field of Brain, Mind, Behavior, Perception, Culture, and Life.
